AT HURTIGRUTEN

We give you the opportunity to travel with meaning. Building on our explorer heritage dating back to 1893, our explorations are grounded in the likings of people who value learning and personal growth over luxury. We are world leader in sustainable explorer travels in Polar Regions. We offer unique experiences and impart knowledge in a way that leaves the smallest environmental footprint possible.

Our unique heritage, combined with highly skilled crews and a diverse fleet consisting of nimble, intimately-scaled expedition ships, enables us to offer you unique nature-based experiences at remote corners of the world.

GREENEST FLEET IN THE WORLD

Be a part of the next generation of exploration travel

Every expedition ship in our fleet is unique, but all share one thing in common; they are perfectly designed to take you to remote beauty in safety, comfort and style.

In 2019, we launched the world’s first hybrid powered expedition cruise ship, MS Roald Amundsen, followed by two more hybrid powered vessels in the coming years. By 2021, at least six of our ships will be operating on clean biogas, battery power and LNG.

LEAVING A SMALLER FOOTPRINT

Being World leader 
in exploration travel comes with a responsibility. Sustainability is the core of every part of the Hurtigruten operation - wherever we explore. Hurtigruten aims to educate guests and create ambassadors for every destination on every voyage.
